I have been practicing various styles of yoga since the early 1980’s, consistently since 1994, and incorporating yoga into a variety of teaching activities since 2002. After training at Sundara Yoga Therapy, I became a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher in March 2012, was grandfathered as a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher, became a Certified Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher – Now called Trauma Informed Yoga Therapist – in May 2012, an Integrative Yoga Therapist at the 500 Hour Level in August 2013 and at the 1,000 Hour Level in May of 2016, and was Certified as a Yoga Therapist by the International Association of Yoga Therapists in September of 2016 in accordance with their grandparenting policy and standardization of training. As of 2017, I have greater than 3,000 hours of training in yoga, and have facilitated more than 3,500 hours of yoga practice for others.

My primary mission in becoming a yoga therapist is bringing the healing tools of yoga to under-served populations.
